data-mm-id=”_gp4y7d3nw”>LeBron James says a lot of things. Everything he says is heavily scrutinized. There might be a big buzzer that goes off in Skip Bayless' house when the Los Angeles Lakers star does something controversial so the little guy can slide down a fire pole and tweet about it.

We are here to dig into the toughest decisions you may be facing for your fantasy matchup this week and give you answers. Some of those answers may even be right! Presenting our Week 3 start 'em, sit 'em calls. D'Andre Swift, RB, Philadelphia Eagles Swift has long been a fantasy trap because he is a dual-threat back with big-play ability. Yet he has consistently disappointed as injuries, coaching decisions, and some subpar vision have all contributed to a falling fantasy stock in recent years. He did nothing in his first game with the Philadelphia Eagles and we thought it would be another year of the same thing for Sw…

data-mm-id=”_izfq7192k”>Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been the poster child for the Kansas City Chiefs' issues at wide receiver this season. The 29-year-old was plagued by drops and not performing when his team needed it the most. But on the biggest play of the season, Valdes-Scantling came up with a circus catch to seal KC's trip to its fourth Super Bowl in five seasons. The Chiefs faced third-and-9 from their 46-yard line while leading the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 with 2:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. Patrick Mahomes dropped back and floated a ball deep downfield to Valdes-Scantling. MVS stumbled and fell backwards but managed to bring in the ball while on his back at Baltimore's 22-yard line.
